FTA> Incognito Mode isn't really incognito. It's perfect for testing websites in a fresh environment though.

Unless your app uses HTML5 local storage, in which case, incognito is not a sufficiently clean slate for testing. Thanks, Chrome!

The last time I looked browsers for iOS also stored at least some incognito data and URLs in the database files.
